Hazy gold with a large white head. Sour yeasty aroma. Sour alcoholic taste, spicy with a dry finish. Not the most exciting tripel.

330 ml bottle. birthday present from my wife. pours hazy yellow with a huge white head. lots of carbonation keeps the head rebuilding after every sip. big spicey, yeasty aromas. flavours are mostly yeast with some grassy hops at the end. a texbook example of a triple. enjoyable but not the best beer in this style.

More head than beer, this one was reminicient of what I expect beer and champagne tastes like mixed together. Odd flavor, but also very unique.

Poured a hazy yellow. Very carbonated which lead to a large head. Spicy beginning which leads to a very dry finish. Not really what I look for in a beer.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow to light orange with a huge white head. Aroma is slight grassy, spiced yeasty. Flavour is not as sweet as other triples which is a nice thing. A more sharp spice note appears in this one, but also seems a bi grassy towards hoppy. Somewhat undefineable triple but nice spiced and dry.

pours clear golden, almost exact opposite of the double. nose is mild citrus, yeast, and spice. initial taste is crispy and pleasent.. but it soon finishes sour which lingers. fizzy, sour, dry, finish is too long, not balanced. 9% is good tho.

Pours a pale golden colour with a big froathy head that has very good retention. Aroma is very yeasty with citrusy notes. The flavour reflects the aroma with yeast and citrus being the most dominate, with notes of spice, but thats where the fun ends, the aftertaste of this beer is brutal, it’s a acidic bitter metal taste that completely ruined the whole thing for me. Lucky for me you can get rid of that taste by drinking more beer.

Cloudy yellow-orange appearance. High carbonation led to huge white head. Dissipated almost completely leaving nice, thick lacing. Aroma is a slight sweet tart candy...citrus. Flavor is tart and refreshing w/ a hint of orange. However, finishes a little medicinal with bitter orange rind. Carbonation is annoying. Not one of my favorites.
